Don't kiss away fire safety from your EC policies
Hi everyone, it’s Scott Wallask checking in.
I’d like to thank the folks who listened to our audioconference a few days ago about the EC changes for 2009.
One of the important points raised by our presenters was that despite The Joint Commission’s (formerly JCAHO) new life safety chapter, certain aspects of fire safety will remain in the EC standards in 2009.
For example, fire protection equipment inspections (currently under EC.5.40) will become EC.02.03.05 next year. Some of the elements of performance under the standard have been clarified, such as for monthly fire extinguisher inspections, so pay close attention to the 2009 wording.
Happy Labor Day . . .
